Article filed in: Nyheter » Sydafrikas druvor: Chenin blanc fortfarande mest odlad

Chenin blanc (förr ibland kallad steen) är fortfarande Sydafrikas mest odlade druva. Den är visserligen på nedgång. Den används också i ganska stor utsträckning till att göra den inte alls oävna sydafrikanska brandyn. Pinotage, som i stort sett endast odlas i Sydafrika, och som ibland ses som ett emblem för Sydafrikas vinproduktion, står för endast 6% av arealen. Statistiken (2009, % av arealen):

Chenin blanc, 18.4%, – (=minskar)
Cabernet sauvignon, 12.3%, –
Colombard, 11.8%, =
Shiraz (syrah), 9.9%, +
Sauvignon blanc, 9.3%, +
Chardonnay, 8.3%, +
Merlot, 6.5%, =
Pinotage, 6%, –
